Perhaps you are here because you feel not good enough, judged, or misunderstood. Maybe you feel overwhelmed by the stress of everyday life, work, or relationships. Or you find yourself being overly accommodating, trying to please others at the cost of your own wellbeing. I’m a licensed clinical psychologist deeply committed to helping people find relief from painful emotions and create transformative changes for more fulfilling lives. I treat a range of concerns including attachment trauma/PTSD, depression, anxiety, mood issues, and low self-esteem.

I believe that no single method of therapy can meet everyone’s needs. Therefore, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral, Psychodynamic, and Mindfulness-based orientations depending on your individual needs and goals. I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an effective treatment for emotional distress resulting from trauma and other disturbing life experiences. Mindfulness-based and cognitive behavioral approaches, which are particularly helpful for treating anxiety, depression, and chronic pain, are also part of my practice. For patients who have difficulty regulating emotions, I utilize techniques from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Additionally, I employ psychodynamic, Emotionally Focused, and Internal Family System approaches to explore and transform underlying patterns that prevent you from living a satisfying life.

 

I bring a unique perspective to therapy, drawing on my exposure to diverse cultures and my previous careers in science, corporate management, teaching, and career coaching.
 

In my practice, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and encouraging environment. I treat you as a whole person, not just a set of challenges. I am an engaging, perceptive, straightforward, and compassionate therapist, balancing seriousness with humor. My goal is for you to leave each session with something tangible to implement in your day-to-day life. My patients have shared that, through our work together, they have gained self-acceptance, freedom from long-standing fears and insecurities, and the ability to successfully manage and improve both personal and professional relationships.


In therapy, we’ll work towards a life where painful emotions don't dictate your day, and where you can set healthy boundaries and face life with openness, self-confidence, and peace of mind. Let's connect and discuss how I can help meet your needs. Please feel free to contact me via email at drsveta@drsveta.com or give me a call at (650) 224-3223.
